It is an inflection point in history. There is no going back. Nor is there a new normal state to settle into. Change, accelerating change, is the new normal state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow can we survive and thrive in a world marked by volatility, uncertainty, complicatedness, and ambiguity (VUCA)?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurviving and thriving in such a world requires an organisation to be constantly adaptable - meaning resilient and agile. We must cope and change. We survive by mitigating risk and absorbing shocks (resilience), and we thrive by capitalising quickly on new opportunities (agility). We change how we see the future, and how we plan for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeal Unicorn has done a lot of thinking and learning about how to cope with a crazy world. Many say this is the new normal: no normal. It's not going to go back to the way it was. The post-WW2 years in Western countries - and the global economy - were, historically, exceptionally stable and peaceful. We have been in an \"interbellum\" period. That's unlikely to resume post-pandemic as the Ukraine invasion - at the time of writing - makes clear. VUCA is here to stay. You may be doing great or you may be struggling, but one thing is clear: \u003cb\u003ewhat got you here won't get you there\u003c\/b\u003e. How do we flex and writhe to survive and thrive? Teal Unicorn have been learning, and it is turning out rather well for us and for our clients.\u003cbr\u003eThis book shares what we have learned in theory and in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo survive and thrive: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe need more adaptable ways of working. These ways arise from new ways of thinking about work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter ways of working require better ways of managing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlanning looks very different once we admit we are not psychic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe use these better ways to advance our capability safely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe learn to capitalise on turbulence and failure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith these practices, you don't just survive, you can thrive. One can surf the disruptive forces to find new opportunities that open up. Turbulence - even chaos - doesn't have to be a bad thing if you are prepared for it, if your confidence is high, your systems are resilient, and your work is agile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cherry Vu, Rob England\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8449255058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798449255051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Cherry Vu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45331881230591,"sku":"9798449255051","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60821a04-223e-4fe3-90b2-7c4027fa8811.jpg?v=1713971131","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/st-happens-cherry-vu-9798449255051","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
